This year the Board of Directors drafted an important document titled "Portrait of a Christiana Graduate." This list represents the essential virtues which will contribute to the formation of our students into mature and thoughtful Christian adults. With a thorough grounding in the liberal arts, Christiana graduates are equipped with the tools of learning which can facilitate their success in any walk of adult life.
We would invite you to see what this looks like in our current senior class during Senior Speeches at the End of Year Program on Monday, May 20th at 8:30am, and also at our Graduation Ceremony on Friday, May 24th, from 7:00 - 9:00pm. (No ticket needed!) The "Portrait of a Christiana Graduate" will also be used by the newly created High School Task Force, which has been formed to review our upper school program. At present, Task Force members include Bill Jenkins, Sadie Peterson, and Claire Mattingly. It is our deep desire that our classes and families at CHA would work towards the goals presented in the "Portrait" for every student at Christiana Homeschool Academy. So without further ado, presenting.... Portrait of a Christiana Graduate: LOVE… God fellow man wisdom what is Good, True, Beautiful THINK… with reason deeply and upward independently of fads by being informed by the great minds with faith, seeking understanding COMMUNICATE… using the time-tested tools of rhetoric with humility and wisdom eloquently and effectively profoundly ENGAGE… God’s creation with awe and wonder as respectful citizens in community with what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable- the excellent and praiseworthy EMBODY… the character of Christ with joy This is part of the Board Bits: Tips, Tricks, and Hacks series.

Writing a high school transcript can seem daunting, but there are so many resources out there from simple to complex. Truly, you could have one completed with just a little effort.There are also companies that will help you compile a transcript for a fee. And depending on your homeschool oversight (umbrella) group, they may provide you with one upon request. Of course, it does depend on which college you’re applying to and what their requirements are. To complete most college applications, the transcript is the basic paperwork that is attached to the application. Some applications require essays or an interview, but many colleges no longer require SAT or CLT scores. So far, for the colleges that my children have applied to, we have downloaded a transcript form off the internet (one sample is attached), completed it, and attached the CHA high school coursework (also attached), which includes the books and credit hours for each course. We use the grades issued by the CHA tutors on Thinkwave, although the parent has the final call whether the grade needs to be adjusted. If your child is also taking courses online or at a community college, make sure to include that. If a college wants additional information to complete the application, they will contact you. Homeschooling is now a widely accepted way to educate children, and some colleges will even seek out students that have been homeschooled. Khan Academy included this in their lesson on college admissions: “Your transcript should include all of the following information:
